Federal Aviation Administration
Danbury Municipal Airport, Danbury,
CT; FAA Approval of Noise
Compatibility Program
AGENCY: Federal Aviation
Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) announces its
findings on the noise compatibility
program submitted by the City of
Danbury, CT under the provisions of
Title I of the Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–193)
and 14 CFR part 150. These findings are
made in recognition of the description
of federal and non-Federal
responsibilities in Senate Report No.
96–52 (1980). On September 9, 2006, the
FAA determined that the noise exposure
maps submitted by the City of Danbury
under part 150 were in compliance with
applicable requirements. On February
15, 2007, the Airports Division Manager
approved the Danbury Municipal
Airport noise compatibility program. All
3 of the proposed program elements
were approved.
EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the
FAA’s approval of the Danbury
Municipal Airport noise compatibility
program is February 15, 2007.

Documents reflecting this FAA action
may be obtained from the same
individual.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces that the FAA has
given its overall approval to the
Danbury Municipal Airport, Danbury,
CT noise compatibility program,
effective February 15, 2007.
Under Section 104(a) of the Aviation
Safety and Noise Abatement Act of 1979
(hereinafter the Act), an airport operator
who has previously submitted a noise
exposure map may submit to the FAA
a noise compatibility program which
sets forth the measures taken or
proposed by the airport operator for the
reduction of existing non-compatible
land uses and prevention of additional
non-compatible land uses within the
area covered by the noise exposure
maps.
The Act requires such programs to be
developed in consultation with
interested and affected parties including
local communities, government
agencies, airport users, and FAA
personnel.
Each airport noise compatibility
program developed in accordance with
Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR), part
150 is a local program, not a Federal
program. The FAA does not substitute
its judgment for that of the airport
proprietor with respect to which
measures should be recommended for
action. The FAA’s approval or
disapproval of FAR part 150 program
recommendations is measured
according to the standards expressed in
part 150 and the Act, and is limited to
the following determinations:
(a) The noise compatibility program
was developed in accordance with the
provisions and procedures of FAR part
150;
(b) Program measures are reasonably
consistent with achieving the goals of
reducing existing non-compatible land
uses around the airport and preventing
the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses;
(c) Program measures would not
create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, unjustly discriminate
against types or classes of aeronautical
uses, violate the terms of airport grant
agreements, or intrude into areas
preempted by the federal government;
and
(d) Program measures relating to the
use of flight procedures can be
implemented within the period covered
